Wow! Sounds cool. Must have been pretty expensive though. I guess if somone is a retired pilot he tries with all means necessary to get the feeling of sitting in a plane back, at least partially thats is.

I own the Creative Inspire 5300 (5.1). Although it has no Digital options it is awesome. You will be pleased. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

what is the price tag on a good optical mouse? Is there a mouse with ... say.. 4-5 buttons like a j/s out there? And someone earlier said that the extra buttons are usdable, but are they mappable in game? LOL, is there a "mouse stick"?

Teabold - I hope you have better luck with that MX700 than I did. I originally got it as a replacement for my Microsoft Intellimouse Optical that I've had for about two years now, and was pretty disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent mouse, but my Microsoft mouse is far better for gaming. The batteries tend to run out pretty fast after a couple hours of hard gaming, and it's not terribly precise. I had a lot of trouble sniping with it in games like GTA 3 and any of the Unreal games, don't know how important that is in FL but it's something to consider.

Ali_Bubba: My Intellimouse has a total of 7 mappable buttons ( mouse scroll up, middle mouse, which is basically just pressing down on the mouse scroll, mouse scroll down, one side button on each side, and of course the left and right mice buttons ). I guess that's your "mouse stick" . You can probably pick up one of these for about 20-30 bucks now.

Ali... I would recommend a Logitech Optical Mouse.. They have a great feel to 'em and allows for real easy configuring...
In europe the price would be around 50 euro...
